Finger cut: A deeper cut may have persistent bleeding and certain over the counter medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin e, etc can slow clotting. If it is still bleeding or you have any other symptoms you should see your primary doctor, urgent care, or emergency room for evaluation.
